May Days

It has been an unusually cold and wet May this year. But we have enjoyed the times when it has been nice enough to go outside. I introduced Elizabeth to sunglasses, and she was LOVING them! I thought she looked so cute and silly in the glasses and hat, that I couldn't stop taking pictures.




Here is a video of Elizabeth enjoying the swings:




The kids love playing in the new basement -- big open space with no furniture = great place to run around and to spread out lots of toys. And let's be honest: Mom and Dad love having a place to send the kids where they can play and have fun and we don't have to hear it all! Reading time is a lot more enjoyable in the basement, too.



Joshua and Benjamin love to help me when I bake (Elizabeth enjoys it too, for that matter). We made rolls today (yes, another Our Best Bites recipe, and yes I totally recommend them) and everyone wanted to help roll them out and form the balls. Elizabeth enjoyed eating the dough! And Nathan loved gobbling up the finished product.
